2026 World Cup Predictions: Computer Analysis Favors Spain
The anticipation builds for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to take place from June 11 to July 19. With the tournament nearing, forecasts are emerging.
According to a recent analysis by the Opta platform, the Spanish national team, under the guidance of coach Luis de la Fuente, is projected to secure the championship, boasting a winning probability of 17%.
Following Spain, the French team holds the second spot with a likelihood of 14.1%, while the English team ranks third at 11.8%.
In contrast, the Argentinian team, featuring star player Lionel Messi, is estimated to have an 8.7% chance of winning, as reported by the Spanish newspaper Marca.
The computer's predictions are derived from an extensive analysis of historical team performances, probability studies, and simulations of potential match outcomes, making these forecasts some of the most scientifically grounded available.
The central question remains: Will Messi fulfill his ambition of adding the 2026 World Cup to his accolades, or will the computer's prediction of a Spanish victory hold true?
